Book Blurb
There is a magical realm that exists alongside the human realm, but it wasn’t always so. The firsts are beings who were created to nurture the land. The world was split into two realms, and the firsts were allowed to redeem themselves. Sadly, the majority continued with their self-indulgent behavior to the point where one of their own, a king, became so obsessed with power, he was secretly banished by the court in hopes his absence would calm the masses. But a spark of madness was ignited and not even the lost king's absence could curtail what he set in motion.
Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
Dylan is back living with his grandparents after his battle in the realm of magic, Teag. He is trying to figure out how to survive his guilt and his nightmares that plague him now. Kera, now, lives with him in the human realm. They are working together to understand the new powers they have received from the battle. Since they killed Navar and Fallen, the evil sorcerer and his follower, Dylan has been struggling with the new things he can do. He and Kera have acquired Navar and Fallen’s powers. Dylan can produce fire. In fact fire can engulf him, yet not burn him. He can control it with his mind and emotions. Kera also has new powers she is learning to control and as she uses them, they get stronger.
After the battle the magical realm is thrown into a worse state. Navar is dead, but the Firsts refuse to change there ways. Dark magic and evil are running rampant. The shield between the two worlds is developing holes and magical creatures are escaping into the human realm. Kera and Dylan are trying to protect the humans as they fight what makes it through.
Kera is then taken by one of the creatures and taken back to Teag. Dylan has to find a way to save her. He has to go back. He has to decide what he will do. His banished father is asking Dylan to help him escape his prison. Dylan is fearful that anything he does will make things worse. Kera is his main priority and he knows he will do anything to save her.
This the second book in the Keepers of Life series. I was really confused as I read this book. I did not read the first in the series, so I felt like I started watching a movie halfway through. I did not really know the history between Kera and Dylan. The Author only hinted upon the details of what happened. So I had a hard time following the storyline of this book.
I would give it a 3 out of 5
